Holds are the perfect time for the autopilot. Usually, I do them in

just throw a hold in at any waypoint)

How do you do it with the GNS480? Is it possible with a GNS530? I've
looked in the manual but I don't see anything that explains how to do
it.

If you are in an approach, it will fly the hold once automatically. If
you press SUSP in the hold, it will fly around the hold indefinitely.

Otherwise, you can press DIRECT and then HOLD and it prompts you for
the course and leg length.

I don't know what the traditional Garmin stuff is capable of.
